We performed a comparison between Linode and MinIO based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."The fact that you can do any Linux distribution is great. You can try out any Linux distribution, even some of the more obscure ones, and they are always keeping them up-to-date. As soon as a new distribution comes out, it is on the platform pretty much the same day, which I find really helpful."
"The fact that you can get a person on the phone has just been fantastic."
"The most valuable features are the simple scalability and ease of starting a new virtual machine."
"The solution integrates easily."
"When it comes to the Linode Kubernetes Engine and the amount of automation it provides, it's awesome, it's a game-changer. If a process randomly dies, it could take me a while to notice that it has died, if I haven't set up monitoring. With Kubernetes, it will just restart itself using Heartbeats."
"Linode has many other cloud servers across the globe."
"They have a very nice web interface to allow you to manage and reorganize your server."
"The most valuable feature is the domain settings page."
"The tool’s integration is very easy. This feature has helped us reduce development time. The solution also has many out-of-the-box features like versioning support and management of roles and permissions. The product also supports clustered deployment."
"I like that if you have a problem, you can buy the home server. It is stable and robust."
"Good interface and a good approach to development and testing environments."
"The product does save time for our company."
"Saves a lot of time in generating and managing documents."
"Nice web interface, easy to use, with a low memory footprint."
"The initial setup was very easy - one click, and it was installed."
"The features that I have found most valuable with MinIO is its coding bit rot protection and how it distributes the workload over all the servers."
"The only improvement in this aspect of the service which I can think of is perhaps a pool of developers who could be hired for those cases where the need goes beyond the support offered."
"The network between different servers isn't very good. I have to install additional solutions to link the servers with each other."
"Right now, they don't have multiple data centers. They have limited data centers. I am currently using the Singapore and Mumbai data centers, but I am looking for data centers in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. They need to improve the availability of their data centers and partnership engagements with cloud Panda solution providers, like us."
"The product must improve its security."
"They could have more international servers. There are certain places throughout Europe and Eastern Europe which are very open to doing a lot of technology business, such as Romania. Romania is very open to technology. At other service providers, I have stuff in Romania. I think there are some Eastern European locations that would be more open to it. So, if they could have more European points of presence, that would be more helpful."
"I would like to see more seamless integration with backup, although it's pretty easy to do."
"They are already working on the firewalls and VLANs, which need improvement, and are now in beta. I am on the beta program for the firewalls, but I can't use it yet because they are only in Mumbai and Australia, and I am not in those data centres. This is the one thing that I have been waiting for almost since the day that I joined them, so it is nice that they are doing that. The VLANs will be an improvement as well, and I am keen and waiting for that."
"When it comes to marketing and exposure, Linode needs improvement because I just randomly found them by looking for Linux solutions."
"The solution lacks documentation."
"Documentation could be improved."
"Its reverse proxy features could be better."
"MinIO could use a time patch on it. It could also use better documentation for some languages like Python."
"We had minor bugs occasionally."
"The developer support could be better."
"The product's initial setup phase is complex."
"The MinIO dashboard is minimal as there are only a couple of features inside the dashboard for a basic user. I would like this to be more robust with more click-around features."
